The interesting question for me though is how much of the company's valuation is lost if the weights leak. I'm guessing that it would be a billion dollar heist at a minimum, and it feels inevitable.

Imagine a GTA 6 leak, but from Anthropic or OpenAI. How can it *not* happen within the next 20 years? feels inevitable.

Counter claim: Designing and architecting is the same activity, just on a scale gradient. We care about the load-bearing elements at the scale we are currently focusing on.

But maybe merely choosing an architecture isn't architecting.

SAVE America Act is exactly that, passed in the house, and soon to be voted on in the senate.

for or against?

the registry isn't central though, and isn't the basis for an ID. In fact most places the registration is verified by cross referencing the registration with other public information.

can that rule of voter ID possibly increase voter security? possibly, but not without large second- and third-order effects.

If we say that voter ID is essential for election security (it isn’t), and for it not to disenfranchise (it will) then we need to provide everyone with one (infeasible), and to do so there needs to be a central registry (privacy concerns).

Not a reasonable suggestion at all. Lack of civic education made people believe his lies.

I do not think we should spend energy on fixing thing's that isn't broken. Which is why I wouldn't remove voter ID in Norway, or require voter ID in the US.

There is in cases of a fascist leader, perhaps the best argument against a central citizen registry.

Duplicate registration is detected. People are notified that they registered. This is enough to prevent most registration fraud.

Yes, and the insane penalties when detected is also a barrier.

But I think there is a more fundamental question here, what types of fraud are voter ID preventing, that we are not detecting right now? Because we detect very little.

Keep in mind that we do detect duplicate votes.

Ok, should the SAVE America Act be passed then? Requiring those very documents proving citizenship, when registering to vote? the ones 9% does not have.

It likely requires a national registry of citizens, and that is what the trump admin is building right now. But they are facing legal challenges because it likely violates the Privacy Act.

I'm not a citizen, but can get a US drivers license. The drivers license does not say that I'm not a citizen. Can I register to vote?

What are the good reasons? And are they more important than this one?

You did not address my point at all, just called it silly. Thanks.

We have to establish that the types of fraud that voter ID is able to prevent actually occurs. The data isn't there to support that claim to any meaningful degree. In absolute numbers, possibly.

The trade off is real, because in absolute numbers, suppressed votes will overshadow fraudulent votes.

It's not self evident that voter ID reduces fraud.

The code generators and UI want it to be static types though, and most developers think that it is.

JSON Schema is a constraint/specification system over JSON values, similar in spirit to Clojure Spec, not a static type system.
